Changing Your Payment Amount

An existing child support order may be modified (changed) if there is:

A significant increase or decrease in either parent’s earnings.

A change in custody or the amount of time the child spends with each parent; or

A change in any other factor that would affect the child support guideline.

Either parent may request a review of their child support order. The request must be in writing or online using the link below and must state reasons why the amount of the child support order is now too high or too low. A modification may be justified if the support order would change by 20% or $50 whichever is less. Our agency will review the child support order in the event of a major change, like getting a new job, losing a job, or a change in custody or visitation. If your situation meets the modification requirements and a change is appropriate, the department will submit the request to the court.

Past Due Payments

Do you owe past due child support? In certain child support cases, the law allows for a parent to pay less than their total child support debt owed to the government. This is called a compromise of arrears. For more information contact us, or read more here Compromise of Arrears Program (COAP).
